USB 2.0 adapter for Type-C and Lightning

This adapter converts standard USB 2.0 cables so they can connect to devices with USB Type-C or Lightning ports. It is designed for users who need to link legacy USB-A peripherals to newer smartphones, tablets or laptops. The compact plastic housing makes it easy to carry in a bag or pocket. Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers or configuration.

Capacity and headroom

The adapter passes USB 2.0 signals, so it comfortably handles data syncing and standard charging for phones and tablets. It does not support USB 3.0 or higher speeds, so large file transfers will run at the slower 2.0 rate. Power delivery is limited to what the host port and cable can supply. Users needing faster throughput or higher wattage should look elsewhere.

Thermals noise and power

The passive plastic body has no active cooling and generates no audible noise during use. Power draw is negligible because the adapter only routes the existing USB 2.0 bus power. Normal operation stays cool to the touch even during extended charging sessions. No external power source is required.
